Mexican officials called US President Donald Trump’s recent threat of 30% tariffs on Saturday a “unfair deal,” in a statement. During discussions in the United States on Friday, Trump told Mexico about the extra penalties, which he claimed will take effect on August 1.

The Mexican foreign and economy ministries issued a joint statement, saying, “We discussed at the table that we did not agree and that it was an unfair deal.
